At the fair there were so many new inventions and innovations, it was hard to take it all in! There was this wondrous new invention that they called the light bulb, and it ran on electricity. It will revolutionize the way we light up our homes and the streets, and soon the entire world will be covered in light. These new light bulbs can last up to 40 hours under optimal conditions, but new advancements are being made to make them last up to a year! I am excited to have lightbulbs in my house and will get them as soon as they are available for the public. If anything, they would make good lighting for parties!
Today I found this marvelous invention named the bicycle. It has two wheels and you can use these things they called pedals to propel yourself forward. It looked so ridiculous from a distance I just had to try it out and see what was going on! It was much easier to ride it than expected though, I fully expected for it to tilt over to one side, but two tries in I was riding it like a pro. It still looks ridiculous and it is quite dangerous as evidenced by the scrapes on my knees, but it was still great fun and I might get one for one of annoying in-laws in the hope that they fall and get injured.
All that walking around made me hungry, and my nose has lead me to the food courts where there were foods from around the world. There were a lot of fair foods, from pie to this new thing called a hot dog. Very convenient, you can carry it in one hand and bring it around to continue seeing the rest of the fair! There was also a lot of authentic Chinese food there, and I had tofu for the first time. It tasted... interesting, I want to try it again later. I also found this thing called "popcorn" where they heated up dry corn kernels and they turned into this white, salty tasting thing. I am actually heating up some oil right now to try it myself and try to figure out how it works. That was my experience at this years World Fair, and I hope to go to the next one to see what will be there!
